Special Events at Otterbein UMC
December
2nd, 9th, 16th: Alternative Gift
Giving
If you are thinking about a different way to honor family members or
friends
this Christmas, why not consider alternative gift giving? Booklets were
distributed on November 25th with suggestions for items that not only
fulfill
your desire to give to someone special but also help God's less
fortunate
people. Extra booklets are available on the mission's bulletin board
outside the
church library. To participate, complete the order form on the last page
of the
booklet. Representatives from the Community and Outreach Team will be in
the Assembly Room on December 2nd, 9th, and 16th to receive your order
form and money. Checks should be made payable to Otterbein United
Methodist Church. Special cards will be available for your honorees.
This
holiday season, give gifts that keep on giving... in Jesus' name.
